Abstract

Post-crystallisation is a hardening phenomenon in margarine and shortening after production. The choice of oils and fats diacylglycerol (DAG) content and processing are several ways identified that could overcome post-crystallisation problem. There have been studies to understand this phenomenon through the effects of emulsion temperatures throughput speed tube-cooler temperatures and pin-worker speed. Post-crystallisation in non-hydrogenated margarine during storage is significantly related to processing. Thus minimising the post-hardening problem in palm-based soft margarine by studying the performance of high pressure working unit of margarine pilot plant will be the objective of the current work. A formulation containing palm oil as the major oil and a soft oil with a balanced ratio of 1:1:1 in saturated monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids was processed in a margarine pilot plant. For evaluating the effects of high pressure coupled with pin-rotor a high-speed pin-rotor and a double stage homogeniser were installed. The oils and fats and the finished products were analysed for their fatty acid composition solid fat content texture and hardness value upon storage. Post-crystallisation was greatly minimised in the soft margarine with the maximum usage of non-hydrogenated palm oil formulation at controlled storage temperatures of 5C 10C 15C and 20C.
